In this episode, Larry Weidel recounts his move to North Carolina in 1979 - a "massive leap of faith" that left him broke, living on food stamps, and eventually earning the humiliating title of "Turkey of the Month". Larry explores the "Torn Sweater" award and other infamous "punches in the gut" that served as the ultimate catalysts for himself and his partners to become MVPs of the industry. He explains that these moments aren't meant to crush you but to melt down your old habits and reform your DNA into that of a winner.
